Growing up.

Today i realized two things.

Number one.

I forgot to do day 30 to finish off my month of blogging days of Wonderfu Reminders.

Day 30: A picture of someone you miss.

It has been (almost) 20 long years!

And Number Two:

I am a Grown up. This past year has made me grow up. I am going to be twenty in 8 short months. I am almost not even a teenager anymore.

What made me grow up???

I moved away.

Learned to rely on the Lord.

I had to learn to budget money.

I got a job doing what i love.

I went through some pretty rough times.

I suffered through a death of a friend.

I realized that life is all about being happy. That is all that matters.

Rejection of what i wanted.

I need to do what MAKES ME HAPPY.

I am starting to believe in myself and realize i can really do anything with the help of the lord and the right people in my life, however far away they may be!

As i sat in the car today with Miss Alexa Marie Call

(soon to be Mrs. Zurcher, i know crazy!!!)

it crossed my mind we were doing this just last year

(a little less then a year to be exact, but whatever)

and i felt like a little girl playing a part of a college student.

Now, i actually feel like a sophomore college student.

It really is everything i imagine.

I have no idea what the future holds for this next year but i will be honest.....I have a feeling it is going to be a big one!!! :)

And i can't wait!!

Everything is going to be okay.

I have a big future ahead of me.

and i am ready for it!

it already hasn't turned out the way i thought it would...

but that just gives more room for it to be better then i planned for it to be!!

2011...

You have been good to me so far.....

(in the words of the Robinsons)

Let's keep moving forward!!!
